Sushi is one of the fastest-growing cuisines across the globe. To become a true citizen of the world, prepare yourself with this primer on sushi-eating rituals. Watch this how to video to learn how to properly eat sushi.

Here are a few tips to remember when eating sushi:

If you don't know how to use chopsticks, don't try to eat sashimi—it is considered incredibly uncouth to use a fork. Sushi aficionados believe you should only use wasabi for sashimi—never for nigiri sushi or maki rolls, since the chef has already used the precise amount of wasabi necessary to enhance the sushi's flavor. It's customary for the most senior person at the table—the boss, or the eldest person—to raise their saki glass the highest. Although expensive sakes are often better enjoyed chilled, sake with sushi is traditionally served warm, since the fish will be cold.
